Navigating HP JumpStart

The screens and instructions in this document might vary slightly from what you see on your computer. There might be minor changes in different regions and in future releases of HP JumpStart. HP JumpStart is available only in English at this time.
note:
This document describes the initial launch of HP JumpStart. The experience will be different during the second, third, and subsequent times HP JumpStart is launched.
  • During the second launch of HP JumpStart, you see only HP registration (if you haven't already registered), the HP JumpStart Concierge screen, and the exit screen.
  • During the third and subsequent launches of the HP JumpStart, you see only the HP JumpStart Concierge screen and the exit screen.
If you have already registered your computer or McAfee subscription, those screens are not displayed. You must be online to see the HP Dropbox offer activation screen or the Concierge screen.
You can choose to skip a step, or return to it later if you are not online when you go through HP JumpStart.
Use the following steps to help guide you through HP JumpStart:
  1. Click the HP JumpStart tile in the Start menu to open the app. The JumpStart tile is live, meaning that it alternates between the main tile and messaging tiles.
